The hospital of Amandola was evacuated on the night of August 24, as was the annexed RSA, and was at that time the most important public building hit by the earthquake in the Marche Region. The hospital is a centuries-old institution serving an area much larger than the eleven municipalities of ATS 24, and includes more than 20,000 inhabitants of the provinces of Ascoli Piceno Fermo and Macerata and falls within the typology of mountain hospitals. The quake of October 30 determined the closure of outpatient services that were still active and of the dialysis service that had just resumed functioning. At the same time, a first aid station was set up in the area of Amandola called Pian di contro, together with a blood collection point for the most immediate needs of the population.
